Science first
Every claim we make is grounded in measured data and real electrochemistry — never marketing guesswork.
Our Story
Born in the lab. Built for the real world.
For more than a decade, C4V has worked at the frontier of battery materials science. Digital DNA™ is what that research became — a way to make every battery safer, longer-lasting and cheaper to own.
Our Mission
Making every battery smarter than the one before it
Most battery problems — lost driving range, early ageing, even fires — trace back to something you can't see: tiny, inconsistent differences in the materials inside each cell.
Our mission is to make that invisible variability visible — and turn it into intelligence that gets sharper with every battery we learn from.
"We started by asking a simple question — why do two batteries built the same way behave so differently? The answer is in their materials. Digital DNA™ is how we read it." — Dr. Shailesh Upreti, Founder & CEO, C4V

Our Journey
Over a decade of deep science
Digital DNA™ didn't appear overnight. It's the result of years of patient research, data engineering and AI development.
- 2012 — 2016
Foundational materials research
C4V begins deep research into battery materials, building proprietary datasets across many chemistries and failure modes.
- 2015 — 2016
The genomics idea is born
A breakthrough realisation: every battery material has a measurable "fingerprint" — and those fingerprints can predict how a battery will behave.
- 2017 — 2019
Architecture & industry mapping
The full supply chain is mapped from mine to end use. The core Genomic Thread™ architecture takes shape, and first industry partnerships form.
- 2020 — 2022
AI models built & validated
Prediction models are trained on genomic data and tested against real-world field results. The first pilot customers go live.
- 2023 — 2024
Commercial scale-up
The platform expands to gigafactory, EV and grid-storage customers, integrating with their existing factory and battery systems.

A global intelligence network
Digital DNA™ grows into a worldwide, continuously learning network — improving every battery it sees.
What Drives Us
Our core values
Six principles that shape how we build, partner and grow.
Radical traceability
If it matters, it should be traceable. We connect every result back to its origin, with nothing lost along the way.
Mission alignment
Safer, longer-lasting batteries accelerate the energy transition. That outcome guides every decision we make.
Partnership mindset
We succeed when our customers do. We build alongside them, not at arm's length.
Data sovereignty
Your data stays yours. We design for privacy and control from the ground up.
Continuous learning
Every battery teaches us something. The platform — and the team — get better with each one.
